Reminds me of a Matt Levine quote:
"It is not original to me, but one thing that I think and write a lot is that cryptocurrency enthusiasts keep re-learning the lessons that regular finance learned decades ago, and that you can see a lot of financial history replaying itself, sped up, by observing cryptocurrency."
I see this play out a lot. While ironic, it is (to your point) instructive to see the cryptocurrency ecosystem learn the same lessons of traditional financial history all over again.
